5 x Vintage cut throat straight razor - coupe-chou
Five vintage straights for $40 US, what are the opinions on these? I hit the BIN button immediately, they look in decent shape, never heard of any of the brands, except the name, "Le Grelot" on the frameback, but not the manufacturer? Any ideas?

I don't know Phrank, but it looks like you got the Clap with that lot
The easy road is rarely rewarding.

Yes, looks like an 80 dose according to the number, looks like it's going to be a job for a heavy dose of Barbicide!

nice haul I think you might need to get rid of the orange scales... that blade is not looking healthy otherwise, it looks like you stole some good razor, leaving some patina on might be the best solution.
enjoy,

You will be honing your own in no time Phrank. Awesome grab. Originally Posted by Phrank

Yes, but they're doomed...doomed to be experimented on in learning to hone them! Originally Posted by RezDog

I don't think that is a bad thing. Everyone that hones had to learn on something. Quality steel with no geometry issues will make the learning faster and more direct. That means less razor torture and a happier Phrank. Couple that with the low up front cost of material and it looks like we have a BINGO
